Archicad lagging after installing Goodies

Hello everyone, 

 

I'm running Archicad 27, Mac M1, Swedish version. and after installing the goodies add-on (also M1 Swedish version) Archicad gets really laggy. Especially in the publisher and when I'm editing a DWG. I can do without the goodies add-on but if anyone knows what I could be doing wrong please let me know. 

 

Thanks

The 'Goodies' install 6 or 7 add-ons.

Try going to the Add-on Manager and turn off the add-ons if you can to see if you can isolate the one causing the issue.

Remember to install the Goodies THEN update AC.

Hi,

 

I can’t say I have ever noticed this but then we always install the goodies as part of the initial install before using Archicad. I will test this when 29 is released to see what difference there is. 

As Barry says, it would be worth disabling them one by one to see if there is an issue caused by one in particular.

Thank you all for the quick reply. I just turned them all off and will continue to work and see if it makes a difference. If it does I'll turn them on one by one over some time to figure out which one is creating this mess. 

Thanks again!

Quick update, turning them all off fixed the problem! Archicad is back to normal.

I do not mean when you update major version but the inter-version updates such as from 3000 to 5200. From memory, some of the Goodies would not work properly or something if you updated then installed the Goodies. Something about resources that the Goodies used getting updated. So when installing AC, you should be doing the base installer, then Goodies, then any available updates.
